• There was a nose out of joint at the
White House at high noon .on Saturday.
It is a chubby, healthy, blue-eyed girl
baby, whose auspicious advent ought
to help in restoring public confidence
and reconcile the President to the sur­gical
operation on his jaw. What a pity
that the jaws; of: Congress could not be,
so operated upon as to close them up
entirely until the silver-purchase clause
is repealed. ~

Stop Bad Immigration.
Eev. Charles W. Sheltoc, who pre­sented
the cause of Western Home Mis­sions
at the Congregational church Sun­day
evening, .emphasized the fact that
nearly all the European nations were
now emptying their poor houses and
prisons and deporting their destitute
and criminal classes to this country by
the hundreds of thousands. Let Con­gress
at once arrest this menace to
honest American labor, morals and
manhood without further delay. Here
is a field of profitable effort for the
"Walking Delegate."
What is an Honest Dollar ?
No one of average intelligence who
desires to know what an honest dollar
is can possibly be deceived in relation
to it, remarks the Philadelphia Times.
There are just two classes of honest dol­lars.
One is a metal dollar which is
money, and all money must have with­in
itself the.intrinsic value of its face.
The other honest'- dollar is a paper dol­lar,
but it is not money ; it is the mere
representative of money, and it is hon­est
because the holder thereof can re­ceive
for It at any time its face value
in gold.
We have hundreds of millions of sil­ver
dollars coined by 'the-Government
which are net, in fact, honest dollars.
The original silver dollar coined by this
Government for eighty years contained
enough silver to make it quite the equal
of a dollar in gold. Therefore, all the
silver dollars coined by this Govern­ment
until the present free silver craze
began were absolutely honest money.
Our present silver dollars, which are
worth from 56 to 58 cents, are saved
from utter discredit, and the Govern­ment
from open shame, and the busi­ness
of the country from general con­vulsion,
only by the fact that the Gov­ernment
recognizes its obligation to
redeem them in gold. It could just
as well be issued in paper, for the salver
dollar of to-day is not money, 6ut the
representative of money, and the Gov­ernment
being responsible for its re­demption
makes it an honest dollar in
the hands of the holdef for the reason
that the Government will pay the hold­er
over 40 per cent, more than it is
worth. ^
Money may be plenty or scarce, and
money may be cheap or dear. It may
be plenty and good, or it may be plen­ty
and cheap, and cheap money is al­ways
destructive to all the legitimate
business interests of the country.
There is no reason whatever why this
country should not have an abundance
of money for all emergencies without
attempting to cheapen it. Our green­backs
were cheap! money during the
war for the reason that they bought
only two-thirds to one-half as much as
a dollar in gold. That was cheap
money, and everyone who used it suf­fered
by it. It was one of the inexor­able
necessities of war, and being suc­cessful
in the war, and in restoring our
national credit we ;were. enabled at an
early period to resume specie payments,
and thereby make our greenbacks of
equal value with gold. The Confederate
money was also cheap money, but as
they failed in the war their money be­came
valueless. Cheap money can never
benefit any industrial or- commercial
class. It is in itself a fraud, and strikes
at the integrity of all business oper­ations,
but even when money is cheap
because depreciated, every man must
earn a dollar before he can get one.
Making money plenty will not diffuse
it amongst the people. When money
exists the thousand sinews of industry,
trade and commerce must reach out
for it, and command it by earning it.
Of all suicidal errors, especially of
debtor classes, demand for cheap money
i3 the worst. It benefits no class, it
embarrasses all. It is the foe of credit,
of legitimate enterprise, and paralyzes
the energies of the people. The safety
of the nation is in honest money, and
while all classes are mtei^sted.in it, the
one class that is most interested in it,
because it always suffers most from it,
is the industrial class. Labor is always
paid" in the cheapest money that em.
ployers can command. Every good
citizen of every political faith should
stand for honest money.

. A Lively Experience.
According to all"1 accounts Charles
Barrett and Edwin Fitch who went to
Long Island Thursday, with the beach
plumming party, on the yacht "Nellie,"
had almost as lively an experience as
did those who remained aboard the
boat, and of whose narrow escape from
drowning an account appeared in these
columus Eriday. To a GAZETTE re­porter,
Mr. Fitch this morning said :
"By glory, going over we came very
near being swamped twice. When it
was decided to start for home Mr. Bar­rett
did not care to risk a trip across the
sound, and I don't blame him. It was
foolhardy to attempt it. While wait­ing
on shore Barrett espied a party in
a wagon and asked them the direction
to the depot. While he and I stood
talking, Toby, who was in a yawl,
rowed to the yacht and hoisting sail
started off without us. Barrett and I
then footed it for the station, and it
was darker than a stack of black cats.
We finally reached the depot, and
found that there was no train out until
morning. We could procure no lodg­ing,
and were not allowed • to stay in
the depot. We stood under the eaves
of the depot until the rain drove us
out, when we made for a blacksmith
shop where we were directed to a car­penter
shop. I told the blacksmith we
were not tramps, and while we would
be glad to take shelter in the shop, we
would not do so without the owner's
permission, even though we drownod.
We were wet through to the skin and
had eaten nothing since ^ morning.
Charley then saw a man coming along
with a'lantern and we started after him
over the railroad tracks, all the while
expecting to fall through some culvert
and break our necks. After catching
up to-him and telling our story, he
kindly consented to let us remain in a
passenger car until morning. Never
did-a passenger car look flo beautiful to
me. Hunger then began to gnaw at
our vitals, but the good Lord was
watching over us, for on going through
the car we found a package of crack­ers,
which had been left there by a
passenger. By thunder, they tasted
good. Of course we didn't sleep much,
all the time thinking that the party in
the yacht would be food for sharks be­fore
morning. Mighty glad to see day­light
we took the first train out of old
Northport, and arriving in New York
we got a good square meal, and board­ing
a train reached South Norwalk at
10:30, glad to learn of the safe arrival
of our friends.".
BOLD BURGLARS.
They Enter Three Stores in South
. - Norwalk.
Th6 Thieves Evidently Familiar
With the Premises.
South Norwalk was again visited by
burglars Saturday night. The stores
of H.: E. Bod well and G. Cuneo on
Washington street, and^Sturtevant's
bargain house at the corner of Ann
and North Main streets, were entered
sometime between 1 and 2 o'clock Sun­day
morning. At Bodwell's store en­trance
was gained by breaking out a
glass in the rear door and unfastening
the door bolts. Two boxes containing
between $15 and $20 in silver and pen­nies
were taken, but nothing else was
disturbed. A peculiar circumstance
connected with these boxes leads to the
belief that whoever entered the store
was familiar with Mr. Bodwell's hiding
place for his change. Instead of leav­ing
it in the money drawer he has been
in the habit of placing his change in
two paper, boxes and putting them be­hind
the books on the shelf. The burg­lars
went directly to this hiding plaoe
and found the boxes and took the
money out and departed without dis­turbing
anything else in the store. At
Cuneo's an entrance was made through
the fan light over the front door. Here
too, the burglars seemed to be familiar
with the custom of the proprietor. A
small box belonging to Mr. Cuneo's
sons containing between $25 and $30 in
silver was kept on the shelf behind
several boxes of cigarettes. The burg­lars
found the box and after abstracting
its contents made their exit through
the back door, leaving it open. At
Sturtevant's bargain house an entrance
waSjgained by completely demolishing
a shutter at one of the rear windows
and breaking out a portion of the glass.
The burglars failed to find over 60
cents in pennies in the cash drawer so
they helped themselves to several re­volvers
that were in a show case. They
evidently made the rounds of the store
as two vases were broken and a money
drawer behind one of the counters was
pried open with a jimmy. Near the
front entrance a pile of toys and no­tions
were scattered over the floor as
though the burglars were looking for
hidden money. Mr. Sturtevant's sales
checks, made out on Saturday and left
in the cash drawer, were found strewn
about the floor.
One very peculiar fact regarding the
entrance into the Sturtevant store is
that the breaking of the rear shutter
did not. arouse the people living over
the store or those sleeping within ten
feet of the....wiudowA The shutter,
which wa.s hailed, was completely de­molished,'
as though crushed with an
axe, and the burglars must have made
considerable noise in breaking it as
they did. Another fact is that the
glass was broken only half out of the
wihdow, leaving a space less than
eighteen inches for some one to enter
by. This and the fact that a large
stand of tins was within a few inches
of the window would indicate that a
small boy was put in through the
broken pane and he unlocked the rear
door and let the burglars in.
The manner in which all the stores
were entered and the finding of the
hidden money would also indicate that
it was the same parties that entered
Bennett & Husted's market a short
time since.

Morris, the financier of the Revolu­tion
who diminished his own means to

Continental Army must have been dis­banded
in 1780. Robert Morris' grand­daughter,
Mary Morris Husband, was
a volunteer nurse in the hospitals dur­ing

Fairfield County Peach Trees.
Deputy Commissioner Comstock, who
is industriously working the Danbury
circuit, which embraces a radius of ten
or more miles from that city, hunting
up peach growers and peach yellows,
finds that the owners of many of the
hill farms of Danbury, Ridgefield,
Bethel, Brookfield and surrounding
towns, are waking up to the fact that as
fine peaches can be grown in Fairfield
County as any where in the State.
Many fine orchards have been seen,
where the trees are weighted with
choice fruit. Thousands of trees have
been set in the past two or three years
which indicates a growing interest in
the business. Some orchards have.been
found, belonging to careless, indiffer­ent,
or possibly ignorant growers, in
which a large percentage of the trees
have been allowed to become infested
with the yellows. These removed, will
greatly lessen the damage to healthy
trees, and at the same time help out
the woodpile for next winter's fuel.
Hundreds of the finest trees have been
entirely ruined by the recent gales.
Mr. Comstock will have hie> inspection
completed by the 15th of this month. .

side to escape going over a steep em­bankment,
and the carriage was over­turned.
He, however, held on to the
lines and stopped the horse. The car­riage
was totally wrecked. Mr. Gorm­ley
escaped with a few severe cuts on
his legs, but Mr. Gorham was
not so fortunate, he receiving ugly cuts
on his back where he was dragged over
the jagged rocks. They were some
miles from any house, but despite their
injuries walked home leading the horse
about four miles. Mr. Gorham, when
Mr. Gormley left for home this morn­ing,
was confined to his bed and it
is feared that he is injured internally.
To a GAZETTE reporter, this morning,
he said, "It's a wonder that we were
not both killed. I've had all I want of
back country scenery. I never had as
narrow escape in my life."
Music Hall.
While in Europe last Summer, Fanny
Rice secured a number of attractive
features which she will incorporate in
her comedy this season. The title of
her play has been changed from " A
Jolly Surprise" to "Fanny Rice's New
Jolly Surprises." The title is an indi­cation
of the character of the entertain­ment,
for Miss Rice's manager declares
that the comedy this season will be so
entirely different from that of last sea­son,
that it will be virtually a new en­tertainment.
This Jolly Surprise awaits you all at
Music Hall to-night, and our society
editor says there will be surprises that
will take the veriest cynic by the collar
and shake the laughter out of him,
whether he wills it or not.
That Big Storm.' I# :f
The anticipated big storm prognosti­cated
as due here Saturday or yesterday
from the south failed to materialize,
much to everybody's relief. The storm,
as was stated in the weather bulletin
might prove to be the case, was diverted
before reaching these more nothern re­gions
and its force was dissipated.
That Blue Herring.
A blue herring was shot-in South
Norwalk the other day, according to
the Sentinel. Fashions change with
fish as well as with women. A blue
herring is quite a novelty, but the Sen­tinel
ought to have waited until Lent
before trotting it out.—Ansonia Senti­nel.

Stop Bad Immigration.
Eev. Charles W. Sheltoc, who pre­sented
the cause of Western Home Mis­sions
at the Congregational church Sun­day
evening, .emphasized the fact that
nearly all the European nations were
now emptying their poor houses and
prisons and deporting their destitute
and criminal classes to this country by
the hundreds of thousands. Let Con­gress
at once arrest this menace to
honest American labor, morals and
manhood without further delay. Here
is a field of profitable effort for the
"Walking Delegate."
What is an Honest Dollar ?
No one of average intelligence who
desires to know what an honest dollar
is can possibly be deceived in relation
to it, remarks the Philadelphia Times.
There are just two classes of honest dol­lars.
One is a metal dollar which is
money, and all money must have with­in
itself the.intrinsic value of its face.
The other honest'- dollar is a paper dol­lar,
but it is not money ; it is the mere
representative of money, and it is hon­est
because the holder thereof can re­ceive
for It at any time its face value
in gold.
We have hundreds of millions of sil­ver
dollars coined by 'the-Government
which are net, in fact, honest dollars.
The original silver dollar coined by this
Government for eighty years contained
enough silver to make it quite the equal
of a dollar in gold. Therefore, all the
silver dollars coined by this Govern­ment
until the present free silver craze
began were absolutely honest money.
Our present silver dollars, which are
worth from 56 to 58 cents, are saved
from utter discredit, and the Govern­ment
from open shame, and the busi­ness
of the country from general con­vulsion,
only by the fact that the Gov­ernment
recognizes its obligation to
redeem them in gold. It could just
as well be issued in paper, for the salver
dollar of to-day is not money, 6ut the
representative of money, and the Gov­ernment
being responsible for its re­demption
makes it an honest dollar in
the hands of the holdef for the reason
that the Government will pay the hold­er
over 40 per cent, more than it is
worth. ^
Money may be plenty or scarce, and
money may be cheap or dear. It may
be plenty and good, or it may be plen­ty
and cheap, and cheap money is al­ways
destructive to all the legitimate
business interests of the country.
There is no reason whatever why this
country should not have an abundance
of money for all emergencies without
attempting to cheapen it. Our green­backs
were cheap! money during the
war for the reason that they bought
only two-thirds to one-half as much as
a dollar in gold. That was cheap
money, and everyone who used it suf­fered
by it. It was one of the inexor­able
necessities of war, and being suc­cessful
in the war, and in restoring our
national credit we ;were. enabled at an
early period to resume specie payments,
and thereby make our greenbacks of
equal value with gold. The Confederate
money was also cheap money, but as
they failed in the war their money be­came
valueless. Cheap money can never
benefit any industrial or- commercial
class. It is in itself a fraud, and strikes
at the integrity of all business oper­ations,
but even when money is cheap
because depreciated, every man must
earn a dollar before he can get one.
Making money plenty will not diffuse
it amongst the people. When money
exists the thousand sinews of industry,
trade and commerce must reach out
for it, and command it by earning it.
Of all suicidal errors, especially of
debtor classes, demand for cheap money
i3 the worst. It benefits no class, it
embarrasses all. It is the foe of credit,
of legitimate enterprise, and paralyzes
the energies of the people. The safety
of the nation is in honest money, and
while all classes are mtei^sted.in it, the
one class that is most interested in it,
because it always suffers most from it,
is the industrial class. Labor is always
paid" in the cheapest money that em.
ployers can command. Every good
citizen of every political faith should
stand for honest money.

. A Lively Experience.
According to all"1 accounts Charles
Barrett and Edwin Fitch who went to
Long Island Thursday, with the beach
plumming party, on the yacht "Nellie,"
had almost as lively an experience as
did those who remained aboard the
boat, and of whose narrow escape from
drowning an account appeared in these
columus Eriday. To a GAZETTE re­porter,
Mr. Fitch this morning said :
"By glory, going over we came very
near being swamped twice. When it
was decided to start for home Mr. Bar­rett
did not care to risk a trip across the
sound, and I don't blame him. It was
foolhardy to attempt it. While wait­ing
on shore Barrett espied a party in
a wagon and asked them the direction
to the depot. While he and I stood
talking, Toby, who was in a yawl,
rowed to the yacht and hoisting sail
started off without us. Barrett and I
then footed it for the station, and it
was darker than a stack of black cats.
We finally reached the depot, and
found that there was no train out until
morning. We could procure no lodg­ing,
and were not allowed • to stay in
the depot. We stood under the eaves
of the depot until the rain drove us
out, when we made for a blacksmith
shop where we were directed to a car­penter
shop. I told the blacksmith we
were not tramps, and while we would
be glad to take shelter in the shop, we
would not do so without the owner's
permission, even though we drownod.
We were wet through to the skin and
had eaten nothing since ^ morning.
Charley then saw a man coming along
with a'lantern and we started after him
over the railroad tracks, all the while
expecting to fall through some culvert
and break our necks. After catching
up to-him and telling our story, he
kindly consented to let us remain in a
passenger car until morning. Never
did-a passenger car look flo beautiful to
me. Hunger then began to gnaw at
our vitals, but the good Lord was
watching over us, for on going through
the car we found a package of crack­ers,
which had been left there by a
passenger. By thunder, they tasted
good. Of course we didn't sleep much,
all the time thinking that the party in
the yacht would be food for sharks be­fore
morning. Mighty glad to see day­light
we took the first train out of old
Northport, and arriving in New York
we got a good square meal, and board­ing
a train reached South Norwalk at
10:30, glad to learn of the safe arrival
of our friends.".
BOLD BURGLARS.
They Enter Three Stores in South
. - Norwalk.
Th6 Thieves Evidently Familiar
With the Premises.
South Norwalk was again visited by
burglars Saturday night. The stores
of H.: E. Bod well and G. Cuneo on
Washington street, and^Sturtevant's
bargain house at the corner of Ann
and North Main streets, were entered
sometime between 1 and 2 o'clock Sun­day
morning. At Bodwell's store en­trance
was gained by breaking out a
glass in the rear door and unfastening
the door bolts. Two boxes containing
between $15 and $20 in silver and pen­nies
were taken, but nothing else was
disturbed. A peculiar circumstance
connected with these boxes leads to the
belief that whoever entered the store
was familiar with Mr. Bodwell's hiding
place for his change. Instead of leav­ing
it in the money drawer he has been
in the habit of placing his change in
two paper, boxes and putting them be­hind
the books on the shelf. The burg­lars
went directly to this hiding plaoe
and found the boxes and took the
money out and departed without dis­turbing
anything else in the store. At
Cuneo's an entrance was made through
the fan light over the front door. Here
too, the burglars seemed to be familiar
with the custom of the proprietor. A
small box belonging to Mr. Cuneo's
sons containing between $25 and $30 in
silver was kept on the shelf behind
several boxes of cigarettes. The burg­lars
found the box and after abstracting
its contents made their exit through
the back door, leaving it open. At
Sturtevant's bargain house an entrance
waSjgained by completely demolishing
a shutter at one of the rear windows
and breaking out a portion of the glass.
The burglars failed to find over 60
cents in pennies in the cash drawer so
they helped themselves to several re­volvers
that were in a show case. They
evidently made the rounds of the store
as two vases were broken and a money
drawer behind one of the counters was
pried open with a jimmy. Near the
front entrance a pile of toys and no­tions
were scattered over the floor as
though the burglars were looking for
hidden money. Mr. Sturtevant's sales
checks, made out on Saturday and left
in the cash drawer, were found strewn
about the floor.
One very peculiar fact regarding the
entrance into the Sturtevant store is
that the breaking of the rear shutter
did not. arouse the people living over
the store or those sleeping within ten
feet of the....wiudowA The shutter,
which wa.s hailed, was completely de­molished,'
as though crushed with an
axe, and the burglars must have made
considerable noise in breaking it as
they did. Another fact is that the
glass was broken only half out of the
wihdow, leaving a space less than
eighteen inches for some one to enter
by. This and the fact that a large
stand of tins was within a few inches
of the window would indicate that a
small boy was put in through the
broken pane and he unlocked the rear
door and let the burglars in.
The manner in which all the stores
were entered and the finding of the
hidden money would also indicate that
it was the same parties that entered
Bennett & Husted's market a short
time since.

'THE KIND THAT CURES."
^ All for the Party.
Among the employes dismissed from
the Pension Bureau recently was N.
M. Husband, a great-grandson of Rob­ert
Morris, the financier of the Revolu­tion
who diminished his own means to
keep up the patriot cause. It has been
said that .but for Robert Morris the
Continental Army must have been dis­banded
in 1780. Robert Morris' grand­daughter,
Mary Morris Husband, was
a volunteer nurse in the hospitals dur­ing
the war and was named by the
soldiers "Mother Husband." Among
those who served at the front while she
was nursing the wounded was her son,
N. M. Husband, recently discharged
from a clerkship in the Pension Bu­reau.
Mrs. Husband has been largely
dependent on the son who has been
discharged.
On Saturday, New York City's Post­master
Dayton removed, to make room
for a Tammany Democrat, James H.
Marr, a $1,200 clerk, in the newSfraper
and postage department. Marr's father
was for a half century Chief Clerk and
frequently the acting head of the P. O.
Dept. at Washington, and died in the
service, but this counts for nothing in a
Tammany scramble for office.
Fairfield County Peach Trees.
Deputy Commissioner Comstock, who
is industriously working the Danbury
circuit, which embraces a radius of ten
or more miles from that city, hunting
up peach growers and peach yellows,
finds that the owners of many of the
hill farms of Danbury, Ridgefield,
Bethel, Brookfield and surrounding
towns, are waking up to the fact that as
fine peaches can be grown in Fairfield
County as any where in the State.
Many fine orchards have been seen,
where the trees are weighted with
choice fruit. Thousands of trees have
been set in the past two or three years
which indicates a growing interest in
the business. Some orchards have.been
found, belonging to careless, indiffer­ent,
or possibly ignorant growers, in
which a large percentage of the trees
have been allowed to become infested
with the yellows. These removed, will
greatly lessen the damage to healthy
trees, and at the same time help out
the woodpile for next winter's fuel.
Hundreds of the finest trees have been
entirely ruined by the recent gales.
Mr. Comstock will have hie> inspection
completed by the 15th of this month. .

A Ride in the Mountains.
Sunday morning, Mr. and Mrs. John
Gormley, of Main street, paid a visit to
Mr. and Mrs. William Gorham at Red
ding Ridge. In the afternoon, the
two gentlemen started for a drive over
the hills to Newtown. As they were
foing down, a steep decline, the cross-ar
of the buggy struck the horse on
the legs and he began to kick. Mr.
Gormley leaning baok in the carriage
to escape being; hit by the horse's heels,
was precipitated out of the carriage,
followed by the seat and carriage top,
Mr. Gorham reined the horse to one
side to escape going over a steep em­bankment,
and the carriage was over­turned.
He, however, held on to the
lines and stopped the horse. The car­riage
was totally wrecked. Mr. Gorm­ley
escaped with a few severe cuts on
his legs, but Mr. Gorham was
not so fortunate, he receiving ugly cuts
on his back where he was dragged over
the jagged rocks. They were some
miles from any house, but despite their
injuries walked home leading the horse
about four miles. Mr. Gorham, when
Mr. Gormley left for home this morn­ing,
was confined to his bed and it
is feared that he is injured internally.
To a GAZETTE reporter, this morning,
he said, "It's a wonder that we were
not both killed. I've had all I want of
back country scenery. I never had as
narrow escape in my life."
Music Hall.
While in Europe last Summer, Fanny
Rice secured a number of attractive
features which she will incorporate in
her comedy this season. The title of
her play has been changed from " A
Jolly Surprise" to "Fanny Rice's New
Jolly Surprises." The title is an indi­cation
of the character of the entertain­ment,
for Miss Rice's manager declares
that the comedy this season will be so
entirely different from that of last sea­son,
that it will be virtually a new en­tertainment.
This Jolly Surprise awaits you all at
Music Hall to-night, and our society
editor says there will be surprises that
will take the veriest cynic by the collar
and shake the laughter out of him,
whether he wills it or not.
That Big Storm.' I# :f
The anticipated big storm prognosti­cated
as due here Saturday or yesterday
from the south failed to materialize,
much to everybody's relief. The storm,
as was stated in the weather bulletin
might prove to be the case, was diverted
before reaching these more nothern re­gions
and its force was dissipated.
That Blue Herring.
A blue herring was shot-in South
Norwalk the other day, according to
the Sentinel. Fashions change with
fish as well as with women. A blue
herring is quite a novelty, but the Sen­tinel
ought to have waited until Lent
before trotting it out.—Ansonia Senti­nel.
